Trump does not rule out the participation of European leaders in a meeting with Zelenskyy and Putin

«The more important meeting will be the second meeting that we will have, we will have a meeting with President Putin, President Zelenskyy, myself, and perhaps we will involve some European leaders, or perhaps not,» Trump noted.

He did not provide details of his initiative, reiterating that he is meeting with Putin «to save thousands of soldiers every week.»

The US President also once again expressed hope that his meeting with the Russian leader on Friday «will be good.» He told journalists that, in his opinion, Putin and Zelenskyy will ultimately «achieve peace.»
